  1. Nats announcers rule they are the biggest homers in the world for a pretty bad team (but its getting better!)
  2. Good, Dunn and Willingham putting Strasburg back in line for the win I need more K's, feed me more K's
  3. wait what how is Ted Lilly 1-5 with that ERA good god the Cubs are terrible
  4. If you weren't on this bandwagon when they signed Adam Dunn and then next year signed the corpse of Pudge Rodriguez and Jason Marquis, to go along with Ryan Zimmerman Well, then you're doing this whole "baseball" thing wrong
  5. having pretty bad luck with RISP and having extraordinary blackholes instead of 'regular' black holes a .500 OPS is really much much much worse than 650-700 OPS from a slumping Aramis if he could just advance his ability to "really bad" instead of "monumentally awful" we'd be much better Derrek Lee sucks, Theriot refuses to walk or hit for extra bases, Byrd doesn't walk and is slumping with Castro now I dunno I guess the devil is in the details here Soriano is having a good year. :)
  6. this is how you're gonna introduce Cashner, in a one run game with runners on? I feel bad for the guy I have absolutely no problem with him platooning players that have shown extreme platoon splits, we've gotten the best production out of both Fontenot and Fukudome this way so yeah, i don't
  7. ahahahahahahahahahahahahahh Come on Cedeno, put in the dagger
  8. Aramis Ramirez has officially dropped FOUR HUNDRED POINTS off his OPS from the last like 5 years
  9. Aramis Ramirez with a runner in scoring position, hold on ter yer butts
  10. Why can' t we score runs against the Pirates, they aren't good at pitching
  11. trade Carlos Silva, cut Bob Howry, go with 6 starters
  12. I hate all the stupid midgets on the Cardinals whose only job is bloop my team to death Brendan Ryan, Skip Schumacker, Nick Stavinoha They are all absolutely terrible, and all they do is bloop to oblivion
  13. hmmm It'd be cool if we could take one game from these guys
  14. Baker's too busy playing 3rd because our regular 3rd basemen can't sniff a 600 OPS
  15. Wait, this is wonderful. I want to see an old school 14-10 game with horrible interceptions and misplays, thats what football is about damnit, don't try to convince me otherwise
  16. This is obviously a joke. It's amazing how bad he's been. Redick should start Game 5. JJ Redick should never start an NBA game for his entire career, he's less than one dimensional, he's like...half dimensional. Too bad for the Magic, I was pulling for them after my dog fell out of the race and they've really been both exposed and caught sleeping. Too little too late, too little too late. Would love to see them push it to 6 or 7 though, but showing how little mental fortitude they've had in the first 3 games of this series, I doubt that'll happen.
  17. If they can get some decent pitching out of Wang and 100ish innings out of Strasburg, plus whats the story on Marquis? Maybe the Nationals could stick around for a while because that offense isn't bad' If the Nationals finish with a better record than us I'll laugh and laugh and laugh and then cry Also I know their GM's son
  18. I spent about 20 minutes looking for the quote, can't find it, but it pretty much amounted to "I had to wait around in the minors for a few years, so I'm gonna make him wait" Which is super petty and he blows too, I love these quotes from Sabean about Posey: ""Triple-A baseball isn't very good," Sabean said. "I'm going to tell you that right now. Especially from a pitching standpoint. Anybody who can pitch is in the big leagues."
  19. The only way this season could get any worse is if we start playing well and are in it in September And we lose the divisional/wild card race by just a few games and we look at the schedule of April/May and see how we dropped series after series to the likes of the Nationals, Astros, and started 0-5 against the Pirates
  20. Bengie Molina is a dick, he has publicly stated that the only reason he's playing this year is to block Buster Posey which is infuriating to both Posey and to the Giants fanbase because he knows San Fransisco's management is too stupid to promote Posey and bench Molina anyway
  21. This team is disastrously bad The only thing to root for is the conclusion of Jim Hendry's career here
  22. Basketball is well run in that regard, no rookie hold outs, no long extended contract disputes of course its probably easier to do that when there are only 12 players per roster, but whatev
  23. All this 'pressure' stuff literally means nothing to a player that wants to win a championship. I hate these kind of hypothesizations, of course the worst place to go for the pressure of winning is New York. Look how much they flip out on the Yankees when they don't have a good week As it is, there is no other team with the cap space that is more talented and as young as the Bulls. We would be scary good with LeBron. Unfortunately I can't let myself entertain the idea for too long, I'm setting myself up for some harsh disappointment. Oh well.
  24. Cubs have had 10 base runners, the Marlins 4. The Cubs are down I feel like, and I wont check because I don't care to know what the factual leader is, that the Cubs lead the majors in "More baserunners but less runs than opponent"
  25. you guys ready for it all to fall apart? ready ? here we go
